BIG BLOCKBUSTER PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO broken the collection record in a single day.

Film released on 5600 screens worldwide 

 

Rajshree production’s new film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo again creating new record. The film, starring Salman Khan and Sonam Kapoor, has not faltered in the ‘Dhan‘ department and has already broken records on its first day.

Box Office record receipts in the region of Rs 40 crores net. This makes it the biggest first day in Bollywood history beating Shah Rukh Khan’s Happy New Year which was last year’s Diwali offering. It’s also the biggest single day of all time, edging past the first Sunday figures of Bajrangi Bhaijaan and PK .

Box Office India also notes that PRDP sold tickets at slightly higher rates than Happy New Year and opened in more screens. The screen count, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, is over 5600 worldwide.
The film released a day after Diwali keeping the first day collections in mind. Sources say that the makers were looking at a big start at the box office and decided a Diwali day release wouldn’t do justice to the film’s budget considering that evening shows on Diwali don’t do very well.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, which stars Salman in a double role and reunites him with Mr Barjatya 16 years after Hum Saath Saath Hain, is the 49-year-old actor’s second film this year after Bajrangi Bhaijaan. It has been panned by critics and there will come a day when reviews will matter to a Salman release.
